TS doesn't -- I don't think, at least shouldn't -- "expand" values.
That way lies sh and m4, and those are scary.
$foo *evaluates* to "file.txt", just like "file.txt" evaluates to
"file.txt" -- that is, the textual representation is one thing, the
internal representation is another. "file.txt" is a textual
representation of the string "file.txt". $foo is a reference to the
string "file.txt".
